5 and 4 Months

I give up on coming up with excuses for my lack of blogging. Most days I consider it a success if I'm able to get both boys dressed and fed! Things have been so wonderfully busy, and part of that has to do with Gabe being out of town "working" this week. ("Working" is in quotes you'll notice, but that's another post for another time!)

This weekend we had a BLAST! Saturday we celebrated one special 5 year old boy with his birthday party! The force was with us as we had a Star Wars themed celebration at a local arcade! The party was made complete with all of our friends and his friends in attendance. He's at such a wonderful point in life where most of his friends are still the children of our friends. The party was a hit for kids of all ages, and has inspired the adults to plan a parent's night out so we can enjoy the arcade ourselves! To cap the day off we had a second party to attend to celebrate another friend's third birthday! Sunday marked Tate's 4 month birthday. I am trying to wrap my head around the idea that he is a four month old. I'm not sure how it happened. Wasn't he only one week old yesterday? Despite my earnest pleas, he is growing up and changing right before my eyes. I am trying to soak it all in and appreciate each and every moment we have with him at this stage. Before I know it, we will be celebrating his fifth birthday. Thinking about that makes me so unbelievably sad.

I took the world's cutest Tater Tot to the doctor yesterday for his four month check up and shots. He was the best little boy. He weighed in at 14lbs 13oz and is 25 inches long. He's at the 49th & 52nd percentiles for height and weight respectively. Practically perfect in every way.
